Durban City FC is actively pursuing the retention of Terence Mashego following his successful loan spell from Mamelodi Sundowns. During the 2025/26 season, Mashego made 28 appearances for Durban City FC, contributing significantly to the team's triumph in the Nedbank Cup and securing a top-eight finish in the league. The club's chairman, Farouk Kadodia, revealed that discussions with Sundowns have already commenced regarding the future of the former Cape Town City defender. Kadodia stated, "Yes, we made the request to Sundowns, but we don't know. They haven't responded yet." This indicates the club's commitment to retaining key players for the upcoming season. Furthermore, Kadodia emphasized that Mashego himself has expressed a desire to remain with Durban City FC, highlighting the player's satisfaction with his current situation. The 29-year-old defender has an impressive career, having also played for teams like TUT, Mthatha Bucks, TS Galaxy, and Cape Town City, in addition to earning 11 caps for Bafana Bafana. His experience and contributions have been invaluable to Durban City FC's recent successes, and the club is hopeful for a positive outcome in their negotiations with Sundowns.
